Chapter 94

When the innkeeper shouted out the name of the Demon Island, Bai Cangdong and Feng Xian were both startled. After exchanging a glance, Bai Cangdong spoke up, "Now, Demon Island is under the name of Fenghua City."

"Fenghua City!" The innkeeper frowned slightly. "You know this so clearly, could it be that you are from Fenghua City?"

"We indeed come from Fenghua City. I wonder if you have heard of the Feng family in Fenghua City. This is the eldest daughter of the Feng family, Feng Xian." Bai Cangdong was not afraid of others knowing their identity. Since they were going to take over Demon Island in the future, their identity would definitely have to be made public; otherwise, how could they take over Demon Island with a clear conscience?

"I have heard of the Feng family." The innkeeper suspiciously sized up Bai Cangdong and Feng Xian but did not seem to believe them.

"You said you have a deal about Demon Island to make with us. What kind of deal is it?" Bai Cangdong asked.

Hesitating for a moment, the innkeeper finally spoke, "I have discovered that Demon Crystals have some special uses besides being used to make Demon Pills. However, the Golden-Haired Pirate occupies the island, and I can't go to Demon Island alone. So if you are really from the Feng family, you can try to get the qualification to garrison Demon Island from the Earl of Fenghua. Then we might be able to make a fortune."

"What are the special uses of Demon Crystals?" Bai Cangdong immediately asked.

"I can't tell you that now, but I can assure you that the special use will definitely multiply the value of Demon Crystals several times, even ten times." The innkeeper thought for a moment and added, "If you are willing to pay a certain amount of life span, I can tell you the special use."

"How much do you want?"

"Five hundred... no... one thousand years of life span..." The innkeeper steeled herself and quoted a price she thought was already quite high.

"We don't have that much life span." Bai Cangdong frowned slightly.

"Then I'm sorry. Or you can get the qualification to garrison Demon Island, and I will tell you the special use. After you sell the Demon Crystals, you can give me twenty percent of the profit."

"We will consider it." Bai Cangdong gave Feng Xian a look, and the three of them left Dongliu Pavilion.

"I think this is a bit too coincidental. We were just trying to find out the use of Demon Crystals, and someone comes to us with this offer. It's a bit too coincidental," Feng Xian said.

Bai Cangdong nodded. "I also find it a bit suspicious, but what that woman said reminded me. We have the qualification to garrison Demon Island, which is legitimate and sanctioned by the Marquis of the Seven Seas. No matter how rampant the Golden-Haired Pirate is, he wouldn't dare to offend the Marquis of the Seven Seas. If we can report this to the Marquis of the Seven Seas, we might be able to use his power to reclaim Demon Island."

"That's a good idea, but we don't even have the qualification to meet an earl, let alone the Marquis of the Seven Seas," Feng Xian shook her head.

"We don't necessarily have to meet the Marquis of the Seven Seas himself. As long as someone close to him is willing to speak up, I think we can take over Demon Island smoothly. By the way, who will the resources be handed over to after Fenghua City takes over Demon Island?"

"I heard that every year, a titled sea serpent knight goes to Zixiao City to collect the resources. He is said to be one of the Marquis of the Seven Seas' trusted knights," Feng Xian thought for a moment and said.

"If we can meet that sea serpent knight, we might be able to use his help to eliminate the Golden-Haired Pirate."

"The sea serpent knight usually stays by the side of the Marquis of the Seven Seas. It's still several months before he goes to Zixiao City to collect the resources, so it's not easy to meet him."

"Let's think of other ways then." Bai Cangdong had no interest in shopping anymore. After the three of them returned to the inn, they found that the Golden-Haired Pirate and his four knights were staying in the room next to theirs.

Bai Cangdong was secretly on guard, but he wasn't too worried. Since they didn't dare to make a move on Sword Island, staying close wouldn't be of much use.

Back in his room, Bai Cangdong summoned the Divine Archer's Egg and poured the holy spring water he had bought over it. After absorbing half a bottle of holy spring water, the egg emitted a crystalline white light. Strands of light, like filaments, emerged from the egg, coalescing into a human-shaped light figure in front of Bai Cangdong, which slowly transformed into the appearance of the Divine Archer.

"Indeed, it looks exactly like the Divine Archer, even the metal bow is identical." Bai Cangdong looked at the beautiful and ethereal Divine Archer and ordered her to shoot a light arrow.

The power of the light arrow made Bai Cangdong slightly disappointed. It was far less powerful than the Divine Archer he had seen before. However, considering that the Divine Archer had just hatched and was still in the juvenile stage, this result was acceptable. He could only hope that the Divine Archer would quickly transform into its mature form.

The growth of the Undead relies on battle, but there was no place for Bai Cangdong to fight on Sword Island.

The three of them stayed on Sword Island for a few days, and someone was always watching their every move, following them wherever they went.

"Hey, have you considered it?" Bai Cangdong and Feng Xian were strolling on the street when they saw the innkeeper from Dongliu Pavilion walking towards them.

"We don't have that much life span, so we can't buy your secret," Bai Cangdong suspected that the innkeeper was most likely a person sent by the Golden-Haired Captain, so he didn't really believe her.

"How much life span do you have? Eight hundred years? Five hundred years would also work. If you are really from Fenghua City, as long as you can get the qualification to garrison Demon Island, I guarantee you will make a fortune. It won't be just a few hundred or a thousand years of life span," the innkeeper said anxiously.

Bai Cangdong looked at the innkeeper and slowly said, "Actually, we don't really believe you. Who knows if you are a spy sent by our enemies."

The innkeeper was very angry and said, "You suspect me, but I also suspect you. If I didn't need a large amount of life span, why would I sell this major secret to you?"

Seeing that Bai Cangdong and the others still didn't believe her, the innkeeper said in a huff, "Let me tell you the truth. I owe a large gambling debt. If I don't pay it back by tomorrow, I will have to sell myself at the Knight's Guild. This secret is too important, and I don't dare to sell it to the powerful people on Sword Island for fear they might kill me to silence me. Ordinary people can't afford the price, so I can only find you outsiders. I guarantee that as long as you are really from Fenghua City and get the qualification to garrison Demon Island, you will make a fortune."

Bai Cangdong was slightly swayed. The innkeeper was very suspicious, but this was a great opportunity. If she wasn't a spy for the Golden-Haired Captain and really knew the secret of the Demon Crystals, this would be a huge opportunity.

"How much do you owe in gambling debt?" Bai Cangdong pondered for a moment and asked.

"Five hundred years of life span," the innkeeper answered quickly.

Bai Cangdong glanced at Feng Xian. Five hundred years of life span, he and Feng Xian could almost gather that much, but it was basically all they had. If they were deceived, they would really go bankrupt. Without going out to hunt the Undead to earn life span, they wouldn't even have enough to survive.

"Five hundred years of life span is not a small amount. We can't just hand it over. You need to do something to prove that you really have a secret worth a high price. Otherwise, we can't believe your empty words."

The innkeeper was a bit anxious. After thinking for a long time, her eyes lit up. "I have a way to prove it, but I need some Demon Crystals. Do you have any?"

"We don't have any, but if you need them, come with us."

"Okay." The innkeeper hesitated for a moment but agreed to follow Bai Cangdong and the others to get the Demon Crystals.

They led the innkeeper to the port. A guard came to question them, and Bai Cangdong handed over the pass token to the guard.

"Haha, no matter how cunning you are, you can't outsmart me, the Golden-Haired Captain." The Golden-Haired Captain laughed and walked out from the shadows, followed by his four knights.

The guard ran to the Golden-Haired Captain and handed him the pass token. The innkeeper also smiled and stood next to the Golden-Haired Captain.

"You three better be careful. Don't let me find you after you leave Sword Island, or I will cut you down one by one. Let you know the consequences of opposing me, the Golden-Haired Captain," the Golden-Haired Captain threatened fiercely.

"Look at what you're holding before you start boasting," Bai Cangdong said coldly.

The Golden-Haired Captain realized something was wrong and quickly looked at the token in his hand. His face turned ashen, and he angrily threw the token to the ground, trembling with rage, unable to speak.

This was not the port pass token, but the pass token of the inn they were staying at. The two tokens were very similar in size and design, but the port pass token had the three-sword mark carved on it, while the inn pass token had the inn's name carved on it.

"We already suspected your innkeeper, so how could we be so easily deceived, Golden-Haired Captain? You are really naive," Bai Cangdong mocked.

"Don't be arrogant in front of me. We'll see who wins in the end," the Golden-Haired Captain had no mood to say more and turned to leave.

"Wait, Golden-Haired Captain, are you interested in a real deal?" Bai Cangdong suddenly called out to the Golden-Haired Captain.

"What do you want?" The Golden-Haired Captain stopped and turned around, looking at Bai Cangdong with surprise.

"You know the secret of the Demon Crystals, and I have the Demon Crystals. If we keep fighting, neither of us will benefit. Someone else might discover the secret, and in the end, we might get nothing, or even lose our lives," Bai Cangdong took a deep breath and said slowly.

"What do you mean?" The Golden-Haired Captain had already guessed what Bai Cangdong was going to say but still wanted to hear it from his mouth.

"I mean exactly what you think. Instead of both of us losing, why don't we cooperate? You provide the secret, and I provide the crystals. We can split the profits from the Demon Crystals, how about that?"
